the great divide

Finch

The sky divides
A brilliant white
An offering
So tonight
I sink the tide
And close my eyes
Can you hear it?

It's calling me
It's an absolution
Burning in my hand
They'll let you down, my friend
It's harrowing
I am the mountain
Staring at the bow
Blood in his eyes again

Save your skin
The suffering
And hold your hope
The bled beware
They're crying out
I know the sound
But don't you fear it

It's calling me
It's an absolution
Burning in my hand
They'll let you down, my friend
It's harrowing
I am the mountain
Staring at the bow
Blood in his eyes again

Fall in line, up against the wall
Not this time: I'm not listening anymore
Now you know the animal is inside us all
But you don't have to crawl

It's calling me
It's an absolution
Burning in my hand
They'll let you down, my friend
